Neither of two men who were shot to death outside a popular Hollywood nightspot did anything to provoke the incident, and one--already mortally wounded--pleaded futilely with the gunman to stop firing, a witness at a court hearing said Thursday. The witness, Andre Murphy, said a man burst out of the Blak and Bloo nightclub on Sunset Boulevard in the early hours of Nov.

For a Hollywood minute, the Blak and Bloo nightclub on Sunset Boulevard was the place to be. Its Boogie Lounge was considered among the outstanding alternative clubs in Los Angeles, a Thursday night mecca for those seeking a heavy bass beat. Actor Sylvester Stallone once displayed his paintings there. His brother, Frank, held an interest in the place.

A nightclub bouncer was acquitted of murder Wednesday in the deaths of two men he shot outside the Blak and Bloo club in Hollywood. Attorneys for Roman Paul Luisi, 24, said he shot Eric Pierce, 25, and Adrian Thames, 23, in self-defense because he feared that the men--patrons he had thrown out of the nightspot a short time earlier--had returned to kill him. Police said the trouble at the now-closed Blak and Bloo began about 2 a.m. on Nov.

An emotional, racially tinged confrontation between a murder victim's family and a prominent defense attorney erupted at the Criminal Courts Building on Friday after the lawyer assured a judge that he would like hearing the case against the accused killer because it might be fun. The comment, made in open court by Leslie H. Abramson, was heard by the family of Adrian Thames, who along with another man was shot to death last November in front of a Hollywood nightclub.

Two gunmen opened fire on a group of diners in a crowded restaurant Monday, killing four people and critically wounding another while sending scores of terrified lunchtime patrons diving for cover. Moments after the shooting, two suspects were captured as they fled the scene. Two off-duty officers who had been eating lunch in the restaurant and two other officers who were working a nearby private detail made the arrests.
